Chapter 68: The Death of Kane (Part 2)
"You said these guys are from bandits?"
Gula raised his voice and pointed to the personal soldiers and said, "The more than 70 people were killed in the carefully selected elite soldiers, and more than 200 people were killed in the city guards. The dozens of assassins who paid these prices were actually from bandits? Are you old eyes faded!" Speaking of this, Gula's finger was already pointing at the professionals and cursing.
Although Viagra and other personal soldiers lost their weapons, they still glared at the professionals in conjunction with Gula's tone.
A professional with the longest beard bowed to Gula without being arrogant or humble and said, "Sir, you are doing your way in war, but we are doing it when you identify the dead person's identity from the corpse."
Gula also knew that they were professionals and authoritative in this regard. However, he could not accept that his son was assassinated by bandits, so he subconsciously refuted the opinions of these experts. Although he realized that his mistake was wrong, he could not apologize, so he just said stubbornly: "How do you confirm that they are bandits rather than elite soldiers?"
The professional touched his beard and said, "Adults also know that elite soldiers must use a weapon all year round, and this way they will leave a very obvious mark on their bodies."
Gula nodded, of course he understood this. The reason why elite soldiers are elite is that they are familiar with their weapons. These weapons are of the same style all year round. It is impossible for elite swordsmen to become elite spearmen; not to mention calluses, the calluses in their hands that hold cavalry swords are absolutely different from those in other generals holding swords.
When the professional saw Gula nodding, he pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "The calluses in the hands of these assassins are not the same. Some are stick weapons, some are swords, and some are axes and hammers. In addition to these, the most important thing is that their soles are very thick and will only be formed if they don't wear shoes all year round."
After hearing this, Gula was silent. The weapons he used were complicated and could be said to have been drawn from various types of troops; but elite soldiers would never wear shoes. Not to mention elite soldiers, even soldiers of the lowest-level troops could guarantee a pair of shoes. Only bandits who lack supplies would fight barefoot.
Gula put aside the question of whether the assassin was a bandit and asked: "Where is the crossbow? Can you tell where it was made?"
"From the texture and style, this crossbow was refined by the Wangdu Craftsman Field." As soon as another professional said this, everyone present jumped up.
Gula even opened her eyes and shouted: "What? These crossbows were made from the King Capital Craftsman Field? Why didn't I know there were such crossbows!"
"These crossbows were seized after Lord Cons was assassinated last time. At that time, the military found that these crossbows were much more powerful than those in our country before, so they ordered craftsmen to imitate them." The weapon professional explained.
"Damn it, the people below are acting on their own!" Gula turned around with her hands behind her back and said, "Butler, go to the craftsman's farm immediately and ask about the production and equipment of this kind of crossbow."
The housekeeper was about to take the order and left, but was stopped by the weapons professional: "Sir, don't ask anymore. The official knew that due to material problems, he only imitated three thousand of these crossbows, all equipped in the Kons army."
"Cons!" Gula growled gritting his teeth.
Weiner's eyes were even red. He had long been jealous of Cons. Now he was the one who hindered his future! That was really a new and old hatred. When those professionals heard this, their hearts immediately jumped. Idiots knew that Cons was fighting bandits outside now, and who Cons' backer was, they even knew with their knees. They couldn't help but say that they were busy with business and wanted to leave here as soon as possible. They didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool.
Gula winked at the butler, who immediately understood and led these professionals to leave.
Weiner knew that these people were finished, and Gula would not let them go out to alert the enemy.
Sure enough, after a while, the butler came back with a smell of blood, which made the soldiers present shudder involuntarily.
"Damn Cons! He actually dared to send someone to assassinate my son! I must ask him to live, not to die!" Gula roared in anger.
The butler hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, Cons is just a tool."
Gula gasped, nodded and said, "I know this. If not, Cons dared not do such a thing!" Speaking of this, Gula's face changed drastically, and she said in a trembling tone: "You said???Your second master?"
The housekeeper was shocked. He understood Gula's meaning. He shook his head hesitantly: "This is impossible, right?"
Gula was furious: "How is it impossible! He is Cons' first confidant. Cons accepted the orders of the bitch. How could he not know? It is even possible that these assassins were chosen by the little beast!"
When Gula said this, he jumped up and cursed: "Damn it! I didn't expect that I had a white-eyed wolf! Didn't he know that Kane is his brother? Damn it! He could even take action on his brother, let alone my father! Damn it! I would have strangled him to death if I had known it!"
Hearing this, all the soldiers in the hall were shocked. Damn, they were not protecting Kane effectively, and now they are involved in the fight for clan power by the brothers. It is really unlucky.
However, this second young master will definitely inherit Gula's power in the future. If he can curry favor with the second young master, he might not only have no trouble, but will become a success?
Those who have this idea are smart people, and Weiner is one of them.
Although the housekeeper knew that the master said that, he would never deal with the second young master, because the second young master was the only bloodline of the master. Even if the second young master did this kind of act of killing his brother, the master would still regard him as his heir.
When it comes to feelings, the housekeeper is very kind to Kane, but he is not bad to the Second Young Master, because he is responsible for supervising the Second Young Master's life and study. According to his own observation, it is impossible to do such a thing with the Second Young Master's habits.
With these thoughts, the housekeeper couldn't help but persuade: "Master, I believe you know the second young master's habits. He would never do such a thing. Maybe this was carried out by the princess's confidant Carlo. The second young master must be kept in the dark."
"I don't believe it, Carlo is nothing! He is Cons' first confidant. Cons doesn't use him but instructs Carlo? There is no possibility!"
Gula said that, but after thinking for a while, he ordered: "In a few days, you can see that guy in person and see what's going on!"
Speaking of this, Gula glanced at the corpse on the ground in disgust, waved her hand and said, "Chop these things and feed them to the dog!" She turned around and left.
I thought this was referring to the personal soldiers of me, but when they saw that the butler had asked someone to carry the body, they couldn't help but feel relieved and busy.
Kane's body was transported back to the capital, which immediately caused a sensation. All the nobles of the capital went to Gula's residence to pay tribute to him. Since Gula was the father and Kane was the son, the only person in charge of the etiquette was Gula's house.
Weiner, who has not been punished for the time being, was busy with his personal soldiers who were sympathetic, hoping to get Gula's forgiveness.
After Kane's memorial, Alice, the military headquarters, and the forces represented by the queen all asked Gula to participate in the investigation of the murderer. Unfortunately, Gula was extremely unkind and refused to participate in the participation of these people. He quietly left the capital with his confidants and returned to the army. Gula's troops also entered a state of alert as soon as possible.
This series of performances made the world think that Gula had already obtained conclusive evidence and was ready to retaliate against the enemy himself. He couldn't help but suspiciously followed the command of his subordinate forces to enter the alert.
Among these forces, only Alice has the least number of troops in control. She had no choice but to order the Imperial Guards to defend the palace.
Alice, who had originally made the plan to infiltrate the city guards, died because of this. Alice, who had only two thousand imperial guards, had to issue an order to Carlo.
When he opened a city, Carlo was stunned for a moment when he received the secret order, and then reported to Cons immediately.
After listening to Carlo's report, Cons and others were stunned, and Ida's face changed wildly.
James was the first to speak out, "No? Just because the son of a great nobleman died, the king actually turned into a crater?"
"This is nothing, but this great nobleman holds heavy troops and is not under control. The situation in the royal capital is so subtle, and of course it will immediately turn into a crater." St said coldly.
"Sir, now the princess ordered her subordinates to lead their troops back. What do you think of the decision?" Carlo said carefully.
He was afraid that Cons would ignore the matter of the capital and be independent. After the last war and the reorganization of the army, Cons had completely captured the entire army. He said that he would not object to his independence, except himself.
Cons said immediately without thinking: "Well, I will order the entire army to return to the capital. Your Highness has only two thousand people in his hands, and he can't suppress those ambitious people at all."
The others applauded. They had long wanted to go back to Guangzong to enlighten their ancestors, but the task of regaining the country had not been completed yet, so they had to stay in this place. Now that they encountered such an open excuse, they would have to go back and be more prestigious in front of the villagers.
Carlo was shocked. Why did the princess only ask herself to lead her troops back to the capital instead of asking Cons to return to the capital? The meaning inside was quite clear.
He couldn't help but persuade him: "Sir, it seems that there is something wrong with the entire army returning. The task of regaining the country has not been completed yet. Moreover, His Highness the Princess also asked His Highness to concentrate on regaining the country. It seems that it's enough to just draw some elite soldiers back to protect His Highness the Princess."
Of course, Cons understood what his mission was, and he didn't think that the king could do anything else to the princess in addition to killing people. He didn't want to point the blade at his own people, so he agreed with Carlo's statement and nodded and said, "So, how many troops do you think you should take back to protect His Highness the Princess?"
Carlo hurriedly said, "Xiaoguan thought it would be enough to lead the Xiaguan team and two cavalry teams."
In fact, Carlopa must not bring more troops back to cheer, but this request was made considering that there were still a large number of armed hostile forces in this area.
Before Cons could express his opinion, the two cavalry team leaders had already jumped up and spoke out: "Sir, there are still a large number of bandits in this area. Will you lose your motivation if you transfer all the cavalry? Will you only be able to defend? How can you recover the country in this way? Please take it back and make your life!"
It is said that, but everyone except Cons knew their original intention. They are now in charge of the cavalry team leader, but they are in charge of the cavalry division's strength, status and power in this place, and they can be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people.
When I returned to the royal capital where the nobles ran all over the streets, I am afraid that even the position of cavalry team leader, a thousand-man military force, could not continue to serve. You should know that in the military archives of the capital, they were just corps leaders, and their troops would definitely be swallowed up by people at that time.
James exclaimed strangely: "Mr. Carlo, don't be so generous, right? Your team is the elite among the elite. One can fight five. With two cavalry teams as the main force, the combat effectiveness of our Cons army will be reduced by half immediately! How can the rest of the people fight?"
Although everyone was dissatisfied with James's belittling himself, they also understood that if these three teams left, the combat effectiveness of the entire army would definitely decline by more than half.
You know, the 20,000 cavalry is the elite of Cons's army! Everyone couldn't help but accuse Carlo of disregarding the overall situation.
Seeing that these colleagues who used to obey their orders and were timid and now dared to accuse themselves, Carlo was also very sad when he was angry. When did they dare to fight against him?
Did it start after the reorganization of the army?
They think that they are on the same level as themselves, and they should be able to compete with themselves.
But even if there was awkwardness at that time, they were just competing in secret. Why did they blatantly accuse themselves of this blatant blatant blatantly?
Yes, because they already have their own circle of interests. The outside of their circle of interests is the Cons circle of interests, and the outside is the princess circle of interests.
Now they have to harm their own circle of interests and Cons and to fund the princess circle of interests. Of course, they have to oppose it.
Cons raised his hand to stop everyone's clamor, glanced around and looked around, and everyone immediately shut up and lowered their heads.
Cons, who has been in a high position for a long time, can decide the life and death of everyone at will. Cons, who holds the power to kill, has long had a terrifying aura.
He said in a solemn voice: "No need to say more, Carlo, I order you to take your team and two cavalry teams back to protect His Royal Highness the Princess, and you are the main one on the way." Seeing that everyone was about to speak, Cons glared at him and said coldly: "Execute the order!"
The two cavalry team leaders swallowed helplessly.
Seeing that everyone didn't dare to say anything even if they had any objections, Carlo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Status and power can really change people. Now who would have thought that the person in front of him was a soldier from the cannon fodder unit more than a year ago?
"But you three must remember that this time, no one will pay attention to the orders of His Royal Highness the Princess, and take your own troops. Even if the military headquarters wants to organize your army, you don't have to worry about it. You must keep the army firmly in your hands and not let others swallow it." Cons continued.
"Yes!" Although Carlo frowned at Cons' order, because it was not required to hold troops and respect themselves? But since this was beneficial to the princess, he still accepted the order.
The two cavalry team leaders immediately bowed and obeyed the order with joy.
With the order of Cons, they also have the courage to compete with the military, and their status will not be lost. With this prerequisite, they are of course happy to obey the order.
You know, this is a good opportunity to curry favor with the future queen, how can we let it go?
"By the way, Carlo, when I returned to the king, I would like to pay tribute to Lord Kane. Why do I say that I have a relationship with him?" When Cons said this, he couldn't help but remember what happened to Kane when he escorted the princess out.
Carlo was stunned when he heard this.
Now they are enemies with Gula, and they are actually showing goodwill to the enemy?
But he did not object, but just responded.
Chapter completed!
